Re: CG members photo album

Visited Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse memorial, Jewel Cave Monument, Wind Cave Monument and Badlands National Park this last weekend. Wonderful places. Mt. Rushmore has been one of the places in my wishlist for a long time. This one taken in front of the four presidents' carvings.

Nice photo Kiran... How far are those Sculptures from you? Did you get any closer?
(I think they are really huge up-close, right?)

I spent my Easter Weekend vacationing in Switzerland (a place that I always wished to visit since the past 4 years of being 200 kms away from it!) - Lucerne to be precise. This is a very pretty and scenic town flanking the lake Vierwaldstättersee.

Here is a photo of the city -

(Yes, I need a haircut!)

I also did make a trip to Mount Titlis 10000 ft high up in the skies...

Yes, keeping the eyes open was real difficult as it was so bright up there thanks to all the snow-clad peaks reflecting an incredible amount of sunlight!

They are quite far from the place the photo was taken. Let's say 300-400 ft away horizontally. I beleive one can get close if you trek. That wasn't an option for me since it had snowed heavy.

(I think they are really huge up-close, right?)

Yes. They are. However, there is a memorial to an American Indian called Crazy horse coming up which is gonna beat it when completed. Only the face of this is ready now and apparently, the face of Crazy Horse is as big as all the four presidents' faces put together.

Re: CG members photo album

hey guys.. have not been here lately, but just want to share this pics with you.

It's hanami ( flower viewing )time again, when Sakura ( Cherry Blossoms ) are in bloom.
As you know, sakura /hanami is a special event in Japan, people would really go out and enjoy eating/drinking under the cherry tree.

This year 3 of us went to Kyoto , not for viewing only but for hunting places were Sakura are its finest
